Trying to rebuild things and I’d also carefully say “relationships” whose seasons have passed can bring great delay on destiny. The social construct has somehow crept into relationships that are intended to have a “Kingdom Construct,” and by this, I mean “Purposeful” Relationships. All Mankind Is Social, But Not All Mankind Is Purposeful, we can all relate SOCIALLY, But not all Can Relate PURPOSEFULLY.
Sometimes we are socially bound to what a relationship once was, used to be or what it accomplished and we become prisoners of hope, believing the same will again happen, and that has kept many in prison holes and dungeons of futile hope.
I recall the first time we bought a P. A System (sound) At church, we were so used to clapping that the first Sunday we used Sound, we would lay Mics aside and continue clapping, it felt as sin to use the sound system . I personally felt so anointed without Mics and Keyboards, so much so that we felt as if we had forsaken the “True Gospel.” This was an addiction to a particular phase of our ministry, we always remembered “the olden days” where the glory would fall without using sound and keyboard, and as a result many false visions began surfacing on how we have forsaken the Holy path and as a result, some people left to seek churches that don’t use sound. Yes, God doesn’t change, but He is not stationary!
Social addictions are as detrimental as the above. We can forsake heavy kingdom molecules such as destiny and purpose to get some people or phases to stick around. Motivation is good but the unrealistic aspect of the optimistism it sometimes leaves people in is destructive, sometimes we are so optimistic and motivated such that we wanna build what God is dismantling for the greater purpose of His Kingdom.
Some relationships can get so messed up that they can no longer be the same ever again, even if fixed. I’m well aware of people who mess up all their relationships in the name of “New Season”, that’s not what I’m speaking about here, I’m talking about a genuine change of season that requires all relationships to either upgrade, transition or dismantle. When a new season emerged in Naomi’s life, Oupa couldn’t Transition with her because Naomi couldn’t offer what she was able to offer before, But Ruth was willing to make the transition, and venture with Naomi into her new season.
Some of your people love you but not the next version of who you will be in your next season, because you can no longer be the same person ever again, you can no longer relate in that manner. They want your Yes even when you have to side with destiny and say No. Have you met your former schoolmates who are still laughing at the same high school joke from 20 years ago? Who still want to call you by your nickname, who say “Mina ngikwazi usenza u 1 no 2” and try to diminish what God has done in your life and zero it to what you were or used to do?. That’s exactly what I’m talking about.
So, at times, you have to Re-Introduce yourself. When Jesus returned from the wilderness “in the Power of the Holy Spirit” (Luke 4:14), He went to His hometown and Re-Introduced Himself as The Messiah! – “He’s Full Of Pride”, “He’s Just A Carpenter”, “We Know His Sisters And How He Grew Up”, The Crowd Murmured As He Read A Prophecy From Isaiah’s Scroll and Sat Down (Mark 6:1-3).
There’ll always be agents of your past, who come to check if you are still confident and convinced enough to remain in what God has made you to be. The Onions of Egypt will always send you a scent of what Egypt used to be. Never chicken out of your season to please your “we’ve been through a lot” people. If there’s a positive change you can’t make or a better version you can’t become because of a relationship, that relationship doesn’t deserve a seat in your next season, it’s maintainance is too pricy!.
There are people who wanna be something. They are due for upgrades in their life, but they fear their friends or loved ones. These are relationships against Greatness! Jesus was so stern, calling His own mother “Woman” because He determined to walk in His Messianic Post and Call, He couldn’t deny who He is Just To please His Mother. Don’t allow anything or anyone to stop you from fully being what God intended you to be.
Learn to release Relationships that are no longer fulfilling Divine purpose without conflicts, grudges, or malice unless they are willing to make the transition. There are relationships you’ll keep forever because they’ll always make a transition with you, some will only make the transition years later and you’ll meet them again in another season and some unfortunately can’t make the transition, and as a result, permanently dismantle.
May the Lord give you grace and boldness to walk and live out who and what you are destined to be in its fulness!
